JOINT BOND REVIEW COMMITTEE Item Number 1 Meeting of October 16, 2018 AGENCY: South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank PROJECT/SUBJECT: Resolution of the South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank Following Repeal of Act 98 of 2013 and Related Matters Background. Effective as of July 1, 2018, Section 14.B.1 of Act 40 of 2017 repealed S.C. Code Section 11-43-165 (as enacted in Section 4 of Act 98 of 2013). Prior to repeal, Section 11-43-165 required the South Carolina Department of Transportation to transfer $50 million from nontax sources each fiscal year to the South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank, to be used solely by the bank to finance bridge replacement, rehabilitation projects, and expansion and improvements to existing mainline interstates. Among other things, the statute required the bank to submit all projects proposed to be financed by Section 11-43-165 to the Joint Bond Review Committee prior to approving a project for financing. Prior Actions of the Committee. At the request of the Infrastructure Bank by letter dated November 20, 2013, on December 4, 2013, the Joint Bond Review Committee approved among other things $549,402,000 in grants for projects associated with Act 98 of 2013, including the I-85/385 Interchange in Greenville; I-20 widening in Lexington County; I-85 widening in Spartanburg and Cherokee Counties; I-77 widening in Richland County; Preliminary Engineering for the I-26/I-20 Interchange (Malfunction Junction) in Richland and Lexington Counties; and Phase III of I-85 in Cherokee County. The Joint Bond Review Committee further approved the issuance of up to $500 million in Act 98 revenue bonds to fund these projects. Following a subsequent request of the Infrastructure Bank by letter dated May 26, 2015, on June 3, 2015, the Joint Bond Review Committee approved using $6 million in Act 98 revenues for preliminary engineering for 3 interstate widening projects, including I-26 in Spartanburg County; I-20 in Aiken County: and I-26 in Berkeley and Dorchester Counties, along with issuance of up to $6 million in Act 98 revenue bonds. Status of Act 98 Projects, Funds and Bond Authorization. As of September 30, 2018, the Infrastructure Bank reports that $250 million has been received in annual transfers from the Department of Transportation pursuant to the provisions of Act 98. Of the $554.7 million in project authorizations, expenditures to date total $208.1 million, leaving a cash balance of $47.1 million, including interest earnings, on deposit with the Infrastructure Bank, with $346.6 million in authorizations remaining to be funded. No bonds have been issued pursuant to the authorizations requested by the Bank and approved by the Joint Bond Review Committee.

The South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank (SCTIB or Bank) Act (South Carolina Code Sections 11-43-110 to 11-43-630) requires Joint Bond Review Committee (JBRC) approval of financial assistance provided by the Bank for an eligible and qualified project, the issuance of bonds by the Bank in providing the financial assistance to qualified projects, and the issuance by the Bank of revenue refunding bonds. Act 98 of2013 required the Bank to submit all projects to be financed by Act 98 revenues to the Joint Bond Review Committee (JBRC) as provided in Section 11-43-180 of the SCTIB Act. These projects were brought before and approved by the Committee.

Effective as of July 1, 2018, Section 14.B.1 of Act 40of2017 repealed Sections 4 of Act 98 of 2013, which was codified as South Carolina Code Section 11-43-165, and that section provided that the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCOOT) transfers $50 million annually to the South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank ("Bank") to assist SCOOT by funding certain of interstate improvement projects.

As a result of the repeal of Act 98, the South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank Board, at its meeting June 26, 2018, passed a resolution on a plan for taking action to end the annual transfer of $50 million to the Bank by SCOOT and for SCOOT to continue funding the Act 98 projects that are underway. A copy of this Resolution is attached as information for the Joint Bond Review Committee (JBRC).

Funding Source: $41,550 Other, Gifts, which are funds donated to The Citadel. Request: Establish project and budget for $41,550 (Other, Gift Funds) for the replacement

of the steam lines, chilled water lines, five new air-handling units and controls, asbestos abatement, and a new specialized air-handling unit in the archive area of the Daniel Library. Daniel Library is a 3-story masonry building constructed in 1959 and is approximately 56,075 square feet. The original HVAC systems are still operation although they had an expected lifespan of only 20 years. The building houses the library, Citadel museum, faculty and staff offices, the rare book room and archives. The existing HVAC system is in poor condition with antiquated controls which are beyond repair. The deteriorated condition of the HVAC systems has a negative effect on interior air quality for the students and faculty. System failures would preclude the use of the building and cause damage to the contents and historic artifacts due to humidity and temperature. This project is needed to provide proper heating and air-conditioning in all three floors of the building. The estimated cost to complete the project has increased from the 2017 and 2018 CPIP due to procuring the services of a mechanical engineering consultant in early 2018 to perform a study for this project and it was learned that the HVAC replacement was more in-depth and costly than included in earlier estimates. Since the 2018 CPIP was submitted the study has been completed and several items added cost to the project. The agency estimates total project costs at $2,770,000 with no additional annual operating costs.

Funding Source: $427,500 Other, Penny Sales Tax, which was approved in November 2008, started on March 1, 2009 and runs for 15 years. This funding can be utilized for construction, renovation, land acquisition or to offset debt service payment. Penny Sales Tax (SC General Assembly 117th 2008, Section 410-419 Education Capital Sales & Use Tax, Bill 1232). The legislation guarantees that Coastal Carolina University will receive 13.3% of the sales tax collections. The university’s portion has averaged $9,500,000 per year over the last five-year time period, and the balance with the State Treasurer does earn interest.

Request: Establish project and budget for $427,500 (Other, Penny Sales Tax Funds) to begin plans for construction of a new Academic Enrichment Center. The new center is planned to be a 40,500+ square foot building which will contain approximately 3 computer labs, 12 seminar rooms, 21 offices for faculty and staff, a small study lounge and a large study lounge. The center will be built with an eye toward creating an environment that will encourage various experiential learning endeavors. This building will be connected to the existing Kimbel Library and Bryan Information Commons to add a cohesiveness between this complex and the existing campus. Connected to the academic space, a 17,000+ square foot auditorium with seating capacity for approximately 1,000 people is planned. These buildings will benefit the entire student body as well as families of incoming students and the surrounding community. This new space will allow for a greater quantity and larger events to be scheduled on campus as well as free up the existing Wheelwright Auditorium to be dedicated to the Theater Department. The university is currently reporting 63.98 square feet of academic/support facilities per FTE student and this project will bring this number up to 70 square feet per FTE student. The average square feet reported by South Carolina comprehensive universities is 107.34 square feet per FTE student. The agency reports, construction of this new building will help bridge this gap, and bring the university closer to fulfilling their mission to nurture an academic learning community and provide a broad range of contemporary technologies, programming and support services. The agency estimates total project costs at $28,500,000 with additional annual operating costs of $250,312 in years 1 thru 3.

Funding Source: $60,000 Other, Institutional Capital Project Funds, which are also referred to as debt service. These funds are set aside by law and restricted to be spent on capital projects only. Debt Service set-aside is currently $445 per full time student per semester and has been the same amount since Fall 2014.

Request: Establish project and budget for $60,000 (Other, Institutional Capital Project Funds) to renovate Kimbel Library’s HVAC system to include demolition of the entire existing system and installation of a new chilled and hot water system to include air handlers, VAV boxes, boiler, piping, valves, electrical and controls. The removal of the existing HVAC system will require the demolition of the existing ceiling and installation of a new suspended ceiling and associated lighting. In addition, the existing electrical system will need to be upgraded to accommodate the new HVAC and additional lighting. The existing HVAC system has expired its anticipated life expectancy. The current system in 42 years old and will not maintain proper humidity levels for the library. Advantages of a new system include: energy efficiency, air velocity and quality control, independent and precise temperature control to each zone, and humidity and pressure control. Kimbel Library is 46,674 square feet, was constructed in 1976 making it 42 years old, and as of Fall 2017 it serves approximately 10,663 students, 678 full and part-time instructional faculty, and 30 staff members who are employed within the library. The estimated cost to complete the project increased from the 2017 CPIP to the 2018 CPIP due to adding a fire sprinkler system and ITS wiring replacements to the renovation, as well as a projected cost increase for the renovation of roughly 8% between 2017 and 2018. The agency estimates total project costs at $4,000,000 with additional annual operating cost savings of $10,000 in years 1 thru 3.

Funding Source: $18,000 Other, FY19 Deferred Maintenance, which are investment fund deferred maintenance funds. The university adopted RMC (Responsibility Centered Management) in fiscal year 2013 as the budget model. This budgeting model allocates all state appropriations and tuition/fees to the colleges and allocates all grant indirect cost recoveries to the grantee’s college or unit. MUSC does not charge a separate plant improvement fee to the students. Under RCM, a Strategic Investment Fund has been created based on a percentage tax on certain college revenue streams. Approximately $4 million of the Strategic Investment Fund retained by central administration is used to fund facilities and deferred maintenance. The source of funding varies each year and is dependent on what each college has identified as available funding.

Request: Establish project and budget for $18,000 (Other, FY19 Deferred Maintenance Funds) to proceed with Phase I schematic design to replace the Air Handler Units #3 and #5 in the Basic Science Building. Both units are 23+ years old, past their useful life and need to be replaced. It is anticipated that these units can be replaced with a single larger unit. The building and these specific air handling units are 47 years old. There are 8 total air handler units in the building, all varying ages. The 335,663 square foot building houses 300 to 400 faculty and staff. Additionally, the building is a major academic building with 400 to 500 students entering it daily. The 2 air handler units being replaced serve approximately 26,000 square feet of the facility. The agency estimates total project costs at $1,200,000 with no additional annual operating costs.

Funding Source: $390,600 Other, Local College Plant Funds, which is an accumulation of appropriated funds from Greenville County that are used to perform maintenance and renovations to physical facilities of Greenville Technical College.

Request: Establish project and budget for $390,600 (Other, Local College Plant Funds) to begin Phase I for the renovation of 44,600 square foot of the 51,400 square foot Building 102, Technical Resource Center, on the Barton Campus. The college will relocate the student services programs to the Barton Campus from an offsite facility approximately 1 mile from the campus to an on-campus building. The Phase I pre-design budget is requested at 2.10% of the estimated project cost and the additional amount will be used to procure a construction manager at risk contractor. The construction manager at risk contractor is essential to the success of the project having the contractor collaborate with the architect in schematic design and cost estimation. This person will be performing preconstruction services associated with Phase I work. The existing TRC building #102 was constructed in 1989-90 so there are many considerations regarding the future renovations. The mechanical systems and existing elevator will need to be evaluated and most likely need to be completely overhauled or replaced due to their age and the LEED/Green Globe certification requirements. Additionally, due to the anticipated work area comprising over 50% of each floor area the building will need to have an automatic sprinkler system installed. The new, approximately 5,500 gross square foot addition and extensive renovation will consolidate, relocate and expand the Student Services, Student Intake, Financial Aid functions and Administration offices. It will also provide much needed flexible space for cross programmable meetings and counseling for all departments as well as dedicated computer labs for student services access. The renovation is envisioned to include modernization of the main auditorium adjacent to the current main entry and public face of the building, which will improve access to, and visibility of, all programs from Pleasantburg Drive. There is a vision for visitor and accessible parking adjacent to a proposed entry at the new addition that will improve access to Student Services and help make Building 102, TRC, more accessible from both the main public entry as well as the campus side entry. The colocation of Student Services, Student Intake, Financial Aid, and a 21st Century service hub and gathering commons will enhance the student experience and provide support to students from the first day they set foot on the campus to the day they reach their educational goals. The building’s main circulation corridors and lobby will function as waiting areas, pre-event auditorium activities, and student support with the additional amenities

14

of café, small retail and student collaborative gathering zones. In addition, this project will be a further development of the 2012 master plan to provide an addition to Building 102, which can provide a link to the pedestrian greenway connection with the Student Center. It also fits into the framework for supplementary exterior space expansions towards the ravine, helping to evolve the heart of campus into a more pedestrian friendly precinct, creating a strong connection between Student Services, the Student Center, and other academic functions on the campus. The estimated cost to complete the project has increased from the 2017 and 2018 CPIP because the project scope has changed. The renovation will be more extensive than originally planned in the CPIP. The need to relocate the Student Intake Services Division, Admissions, Financial Aid, Placement Testing, Advising, Student Records, and the Business Office to the main campus was deemed a higher priority by administration in late summer, after the filing of the 2018 CPIP. The agency estimates total project costs at $18,600,000 with additional annual operating costs savings of $5,500 in years 1 thru 3.

Request: Increase budget to $739,771 (add $689,771 Other, Other Operating Funds) to repair the existing 20+ year old 5-story 10,476 square foot drill tower that is a training structure on the state-owned campus of the South Carolina Fire Academy, within the Division of Fire and Life Safety on Monticello Road in Columbia. The current condition of the exterior brick façade has visible deterioration, has become a safety hazard and must be remediated. State Fire has completed a thorough structural evaluation to determine the underlying cause of the crumbling brick facade, exterior cracks and shifting mortar joints. Phase II will now facilitate repairs to eliminate any future degradation of the brick facade. It appears the combination of brick, the construction method and continued water exposure from rain, moisture, and fire stream(s) application continues to damage the structure, requiring the entire brick facade to be removed and replaced with a safer finish. This structure is used continuously for hundreds of firefighter training classes throughout the year, both for interior and exterior rescue and firefighting operations. All sides of the tower are utilized for rescue using ground ladders, high angle rope rescue, aerial ladders, elevated fire streams, etc. This remediation will make the structure safe plus sustain this training structure for many decades into the future. Approximately 15,000 of South Carolina’ firefighters and other first responders receive training at the Fire Academy annually. This remediation will sustain the training structure for many decades into the future. The agency estimates total project costs at $739,771 with no additional annual operating costs.

Request: Increase budget to $8,750,000 (add $1,190,000 Appropriated State, FY18 Carryforward Funds) to cover increased costs due to the addition of skirt netting at all the locations affected, which attaches the security perimeter netting system to the outer perimeter fence to ensure that contraband cannot be passed through any voids between the perimeter fence and netting system. This scope of work for this project remains the same, which is to furnish and install a Security Perimeter Netting System around the security fence perimeter of all the Level 3 and most of the Level 2 Correctional Institutions (total of 11 institutions), to reduce the extensive contraband that SCDC is receiving into the institutions from criminal elements by “throw-overs” of the perimeter fence disguised as footballs, packs, etc. This is another measure making the institutions a more secure environment for the security staff and the inmates. There are approximately 12,626 inmates and 2,346 staff at these institutions. The netting system will consist of fifty-feet (50’) high engineered poles with netting which is made of 1” polyester mesh with a breaking strength of 160lbs. and a 3/8” solid rope border with breaking strength of 5,500 lbs. The netting panels are custom built to meet each correctional institution’s requirements and come with a full 5 year warranty. The agency estimates total project costs at $8,750,000 with no additional annual operating costs. The agency also reports the projects date for execution of the construction contract is based on the individual institution.

The project scope remains unchanged and is to furnish and install several Security Upgrades to Housing Unit Inmate Cells at eleven (11) Level 2 & Level 3 Correctional Institutions. Door lock upgrades are also increased in this project. These upgrades will include adding, replacing and repairing locks as required by the security level and operation of the existing locking system. Per the agency, it takes a constant effort to maintain locks in the institutions, most of which are dated and technologically deficient. Inmates have learned how to compromise and defeat some of the locks in some housing units. This problem directly contributes to cell phone contraband issues. Installation of additional security measures for window frames and glazing, opaque glazing, food flaps, cuff ports, etc., are also included in this project. The window coverings are designed to block the view of the inmate to the outside perimeter. Inmates watch the roving officers and determine when contraband (including cell phones), can be retrieved from the yard. This scope of work will provide additional security to the inmate cells, housing units and correctional facility, but will also directly impact SCDC’s efforts to deter contraband from entering the institutions. There are approximately 18,351 inmates and 3,750 staff located at these institutions. The agency estimates total project costs at $10,500,000 with no additional annual

Funding Source: Beaufort County Funds. Request: Establish a Phase I project for the construction of a Boating Access Facility on

the Fort Frederick Heritage Preserve (FFHP) located on the Beaufort River in Port Royal. DNR proposes to enter into an agreement with Beaufort County to manage a portion of FFHP and construct a public boating access facility (ramp and courtesy dock). The project will be managed and funded by Beaufort County at no cost to the department. The new ramp will be a substitute for an existing ramp that has been inaccessible since 2001. Prior to enhanced security, access was obtained through the US Naval Hospital grounds located next to the FFHP. Beaufort County has since obtained two tracts of land adjacent to FFHP and is prepared to enter into an agreement with DNR that will restore access to the site. DNR will request approval of the following from the Department of Administration. 1) An easement across Beaufort County land to provide DNR access to the FFHP. 2) A lease out to Beaufort County, which provides the county a designated portion of the FFHP to be used for construction of a boating access facility to be managed by the county. Construction will be subject to the required reviews of the Office of State Engineer and other permit requirements. 3) A license out which allows the county to access their second adjacent parcel designated for parking. Beaufort County is prepared to obtain the required US Army Corps of Engineers permit and enter into a mitigation plan for the loss of salt marsh resulting from the ramp construction. It is certain that Beaufort County will request some amount of reimbursement for the project from the Water Recreational Resource Fund allocated for use in Beaufort County, a fund DNR manages. The agency estimates total project costs, including mitigation, to be incurred by Beaufort County at $707,150 with no additional annual operating costs to be incurred by the state.

Request: Establish project and budget for $20,000 (Other, College Funds) to procure investigative studies required to adequately evaluate property prior to purchase. The college is considering the acquisition of approximately 3.71 acres on SC Hwy 11 which adjoins the SCC campus. The property is just northwest of the main campus drive which enters from SC Hwy 11. The college desires to acquire the property which will allow a future opportunity to provide an additional entrance drive directly in front of the freightliner operation thereby offloading the Freightliner service vehicles traffic from the main Hwy 11 entrance drive. The college has its Cherokee County Campus in Gaffney, SC within the boundaries of SC Hwy 11 and Peachoid Road. Presently situated on the campus are five (5) buildings (Freightliner Service Center, Parris Industry & Business Training Center, Peeler Academic Building, Center for Advanced Manufacturing & Industrial Technologies, and Cherokee Public Schools’ Institute of Innovation). The Institute of Innovation is scheduled to open this fall, 2018, enrolling some 900+ Cherokee County high school students. The agency estimates the land acquisition cost $317,000 with additional annual operating costs of $10,000 in years 1 thru 3.

Request: Establish project and budget for $20,000 (Other, Heritage Land Trust Funds) to procure investigative studies required to adequately evaluate property prior to purchase. DNR is considering the acquisition of approximately 56 acres of land in northern Greenville County. The property adjoins the DNR’s Blackwell Heritage Preserve and is offered by Joe C. McKinney, Jr. of Greenville, SC. The property is located in northern Greenville County approximately 5 miles northeast of Travelers Rest. It adjoins the northwest side of the Heritage Preserve (HP) and south side of Flat Creek. The tract contains rolling topography, upland pine areas and bottomland hardwoods. It contains the bunched arrowhead, a federally endangered plant species, and the dwarf-flowered heartleaf, a federally threatened species. Bunched arrowhead is one of the rarest plants on earth, existing only in Greenville County and Henderson County, North Carolina. They are located in Piedmont seepage forests, which are rare wetland communities that provide naturally occurring slow flows of water needed to sustain them. More than 750 bunched arrowhead plants have been found on the tract. Once acquired, the land will be managed as part of Blackwell HP and will be open to the public for outdoor recreational activities. An appraisal of the property, conducted to meet the grant application requirements, has established the fair market value at $970,000. The proposed purchase price is $970,000 and will be funded through a $787,500 grant from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, a $5,000 restricted contribution from Naturaland Trust and the balance from the Heritage Land Trust Fund. The agency estimates the land acquisition cost will not exceed $990,000 with no additional annual operating costs.

Clemson’s Coastal Research and Education Center (REC), surrounds the USDA property on three sides with Highway 17 bordering the fourth side. The USDA has discontinued use of the property and the Federal General Services Administration has declared the property as excess and would like to dispose of it. The property is being offered for sale at $93,000. An appraisal completed on August 15, 2018 by Charleston Appraisal Service, Inc., valued the property at $227,700. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was completed by S&ME on July 25,2017 and revealed no evidence of environmental concerns except a past petroleum spill on the subject property in 1990 that was discovered through interviews and previous assessment reports. This is considered a historical recognized environmental condition, not a recognized environmental condition. The petroleum spill occurred from an aboveground fuel storage tank that was later removed from the site. Contaminated spills in the area of the spill were excavated, and the groundwater was monitored to the satisfaction of the SCDHEC. The groundwater monitoring wells were removed in 1998. An asbestos and lead-based paint assessment was conducted on June 27, 2017 by S&ME of the interior and exterior of five structures located on the property. Category I and II non-friable ACMs were identified. Asbestos was detected at a level <1% in the carpet mastic associated with the asbestos containing floor tile and associated mastic in the breakroom of the Head House, via TEM analysis. Lead-based pain, applicable to the SCDHEC disposal standards, were also identified. Low levels of lead applicable to the standards of the OSHA were identified as well. No construction or renovation of buildings on the property is planned. The five buildings to be acquired will be demolished for an estimated cost of $150,000. Clemson’s Coastal

49

REC’s research and extension programs focus on vegetables, strawberries, medicinal plants, and specialty crops with research on developing efficient and economical vegetable production practices and integrated pest management. Clemson wishes to acquire the surrounding USDA property to maintain and protect the integrity of the research on its property and to ensure its property’s continued use for agricultural research. In addition, ownership of the property would allow Clemson to control and secure all the property boundaries so ongoing research is not jeopardized by outside parties. Clemson has collaborated with the USDA Vegetable Laboratory for many years and Clemson personnel are housed in the USDA facility across the highway from the property to be acquired. The agency reports the total projected cost of this project is $270,000 and no additional operating costs will result from this project. The agency anticipates completing the land acquisition in December 2019.

sales, land swaps, leases and similar transactions on Clemson Experimental Forest lands.

Request: To provide for final approval for a like value land exchange between Clemson University and TXG Capital. The land exchange will allow Clemson to acquire 20 acres of land adjacent to the G.H. Aull Natural Area of the Clemson Experimental Forest (CEF) in Pendleton in exchange for 4.5 acres Clemson owns on Lake Hartwell in Oconee County near Highway 123 and Jacobs Road. The 20-acre property Clemson will acquire, valued at approximately $370,000, will benefit Clemson by providing legal access to a portion of the CEF which does not currently exist. It will also open a significant natural area of the CEF that has never been harvested or farmed, making it an area of vital interest to university programs for research, teaching, education, and demonstration activities. The 4.5-acre property Clemson will swap, valued at approximately $380,000, is landlocked by Lake Hartwell and property TXG Capital acquired to construct the Epoch Clemson student housing project. Access to the property is limited over a gated dirt road, railroad crossing and easement through the Epoch development. While the property is part of the CEF, it does not align with the CEF mission for teaching, research and education due to the remote location, parcel size, difficulty to access, and inability to easily manage the timber resources. The swap will be a like value swap with TXG Capital providing Clemson with cash for the difference in the two appraised values of $10,000. The agency estimates that the land acquisition will cost approximately $20,000 and no additional annual operating costs will result from the project.

SC Rural Infrastructure Authority Annual Report - FY2018 4

Theodore Roosevelt

once said, “Do what you

can, with what you have,

where you are.”

For more than five years,

the RIA has been working

with communities to fund

solutions to infrastructure

challenges statewide.

RIA has developed a

portfolio of financial and other resources

designed to respond to these challenges

and put communities in a position to

succeed.

Since 2013, the RIA’s Board of Directors

has approved 251 grants totaling nearly

$97 million and leveraged more than

$337 million in additional water, sewer and

storm drainage investment. Every county in

the state has benefitted from these grants.

Additionally, the State Revolving Funds (SRF)

program, which became a part of the

agency’s offerings in 2015, is another great

resource. In the past three years, the SRF

program has closed nearly $350 million in

loans for major water, wastewater and storm

drainage improvements. With affordable

interest rates and terms, demand for this

program is at an all-time high.

Infrastructure is expensive, and local

resources are often scarce. RIA is putting its

resources to work by bridging financial gaps

for local communities. Proving once again

that when we pool our resources and work

together, we can make things happen.

Robert M. Hitt III

Secretary, SC Department of Commerce

Chairman, SC Rural Infrastructure Authority

From day one, our board

of directors has provided

clear direction: “Find ways

to help communities.”

With that mission, RIA staff

have been focused on

providing a high level of

customer service, meeting

communities where they

are and trying to solve

problems. RIA supports community projects

with the greatest need and addresses

infrastructure issues that have the potential to

hinder quality of life and economic growth.

We partner with multiple funding sources,

whenever appropriate, in order to maximize

the impact of projects and to leverage

limited resources. Our goal is to find solutions

to critical needs – whether or not RIA

resources are used to fund the project.

A customer satisfaction survey was

conducted in FY18 to assess the effectiveness

of the grant program and services. The

quality of staff assistance and user-friendly

program features received the highest

marks. One survey respondent indicated,

“The services offered by RIA are right on

target and a tremendous asset to assisting

counties with infrastructure needs.”

With renewed commitment, our approach

for the future is simple – focus on finding

solutions and improving communities

statewide.

Grant Program Summary

7

Basic Infrastructure program: assists communities in complying with environmental quality

standards, protecting public health from other environmental concerns or improving the

capacity of existing water, sewer and storm drainage infrastructure. Funds may also be used

to address infrastructure that has exceeded its useful life and no longer provides quality

service.

Economic Infrastructure program: builds or enhances local water, sewer and storm drainage

infrastructure to support economic development that will create and retain jobs, as well as

boost opportunities for future economic impact. Reliable infrastructure benefits both new

and existing businesses and puts communities in a position to attract additional investment

that will contribute to long-term community sustainability.

Competitive grants are offered to assist in the

development of reliable water, sewer and storm

drainage infrastructure statewide, as well as increase

capacity for economic growth.

Financial assistance is made available through two

programs - Basic and Economic Infrastructure - during

two competitive funding rounds annually. Applications

are reviewed on a comparative basis with

consideration of the relative need, feasibility and

impact of each project. Funding decisions are made

by the RIA’s Board of Directors. The RIA staff provides

technical assistance to help communities apply for

funding to address critical infrastructure needs.

RIA funds must be used for project-related

construction costs. Applicants are responsible for

planning, engineering, permitting, acquisition, legal

and other non-construction related costs. There is an

additional match requirement for projects located

in Tier I and II counties, as designated by the SC

Department of Revenue.

Eligible applicants are local governments, special

purpose and public service districts or public works

commissions. Not-for-profit water/sewer companies are

not eligible as applicants but may be assisted with RIA

funds if the local government being served by the

project agrees to be the applicant.

Low-interest loans are made statewide for a variety of clean water and drinking water

projects through the State Revolving Funds (SRF). These are federally capitalized loan

programs jointly administered by the RIA and the SC Department of Health and

Environmental Control (DHEC).

RIA administers all of the financial

responsibilities, including: loan policies;

loan applications and credit reviews; loan

agreements and disbursements; as well

as, loan administration activities, including

repayments. RIA also provides the state

match (20%) for the federal funds.

DHEC acts as the federal grantee and

handles the technical aspects of the SRF

program, including: review of preliminary

engineering reports; project plans and specifications; issuance of construction

permits; and compliance with federal requirements.

Eligible “sponsors” or applicants for SRF loans are municipalities, counties and special

purpose districts. To be eligible for SRF assistance, the project sponsor must have a

revenue stream sufficient to provide a reliable repayment source and the system must

meet viability/sustainability requirements.

RIA works cooperatively alongside DHEC to create a pipeline of projects and to

enhance customer service through training, technical assistance, communication

and outreach. Efforts to increase fund utilization coupled with an improved economy,

affordable interest rates and terms have resulted in an all-time high level of

demand. In the past three years, $350 million in loans have been closed.

Customer Survey Results

The RIA conducted a customer satisfaction survey

of its grant program in FY18. Among the findings:

the application process, project implementation

and RIA staff received high marks. The

respondents, who applied for grant funding but

were not awarded a grant, generally had a good

understanding of why they were not funded

and were satisfied with the technical assistance

provided by the RIA staff to help strengthen future

applications.

The RIA is focused on serving its customers and finding ways to fund infrastructure

projects statewide. Information about RIA and other funding resources is

communicated to stakeholders through various outreach methods. Training is

offered annually to inform local officials about accessing grant and loan resources.

This year, training was provided to 291 participants at four workshops. In addition,

staff travels throughout the state providing resource information, funding

coordination and problem-solving assistance. About 148 meetings and

project discussions were held last year.

We’re Here to Help

The RIA website was updated

to provide additional resources

for infrastructure funding. Among

the new features:

Interactive maps of projects

awarded and water/sewer

rates

RIA-funded cases studies
